Personal Fall Arrest Systems Sample Clauses

Personal Fall Arrest Systems. Personal fall arrest systems are designed to control the fall of a worker and minimize the injury once a worker has fallen. Personal fall arrest systems consist of the following components: • Full body harness (body wear) • Shock absorbing lanyard or retractable (connecting device) • Tie off point (anchorage) • Training Specific RequirementsSafety harness is the only acceptable means of personal fall arrest system permitted on any Webcor/Obayashi project; the use of body belts is not acceptable for fall protection (including positioning systems). • Retractable lanyards are the most preferred fall protection systems for this project. • Each subcontractor and tiered subcontractor is responsible for providing and requiring the use of safety harnesses, lifelines and lanyards when workers are exposed to a fall of 6 feet or greater. • All subcontractors must provide safety harness at their cost when fall protection is required. • All lanyards must be equipped with locking snap hooks. • Appropriate shock absorbing lanyards will be used for fall protection when they do not create a greater hazard due to the length of the potential fall. • Shock absorbing lanyards are not to be used in combination with a retractable lanyard. • Any safety harness, lifeline or lanyard actually subjected to in-service loading MUST be immediately removed from service and should not be used again for worker safeguarding. • Fall arrest equipment should be removed from service when evidence of wear is detected. • Retractable lifelines are preferred where direct anchorage is not available. • All safety harnesses, lifelines and lanyards must have a nominal breaking strength of 5,000 lbs (5,400 lbs in CA). • The anchorage (tie off point) must be capable of withstanding a minimum 5,000 lbs (5,400 lbs in CA) tensile strength per worker attached. • Anchorage used for attachment of personal fall arrest equipment should be secured above the point of operation whenever possible • Anchorage, tie off, must generally be above the worker’s head. • Anchorage must be high enough that the worker will not strike any lower level surface or object should a fall occur. • All fall protection equipment shall be inspected daily/monthly and before each use, with documentation made available upon request that it is in proper working order.
